Left:
Pond on property with duck-house. This pond is located on the eastern side of the property. It is half surrounded by terraced Forest Gardens and the bench from which the photo was taken, has a trellis overhanging with hops. Ponds uses are many including;
- Reflects light onto terraces
- Slows and sinks all water running onto the property. (We can irrigate from the pond.)
- Fish and ducks!

Photo Right: this is a bad picture, but I was trying to capture the propagation technique of layering. This is a branch off the fig tree. The center of which has been scratched and covered with dirt and leaves. This will hopefully form roots and we will eventually be able to dig this up and use as a new tree. We have also been talking about experimenting with air layering.
